"wiggle price £102.49"

£100+ for pedals?!... HELL NO! 

don't get dxs. i bent the axle on mine and madison(distributor) don't do replacements. gash. plus the pins are a bit puny. stick with v12s. tried, tested, strong and grippy and light enough. eastons are also a possibility but are slightly more expensive.

that's my tuppence.

Depends what you ride, obviosly for dh DMR's are too small, but for dirt they feel just the perfect size and arent to big so you can twist your foot easily for mega tables and tweaks etc which are more difficult with bigger gripper pedals.

I understand your point, but I won't pay that much for pedals because;

1) You could make the same point about anything, wheels make you move so buy the best, the frame is the heart of the bike so buy the best, brakes stop you so buy the best. If you thought like that you'd be looking at thousands for a bike.
2) I dare say that in a blind test riding each pedal you couldn't tell the difference between a descent £50-60 set and a super expensive set.

All that and after about two weeks my pedals are usually scuffed to bits, and I'd cry if I'd spent that much on them!

Maybe I'm like that though. It's not just pedals, when I see £70 seatposts or £80 stems I just laugh!
